Oh, boy, here it comes...
"I'm sorry, Sister Ruoxi... It's just that... we miss you so much. After Brother Yin died, you never came to our place anymore. I thought... I thought that you probably needed time. But it's been three years now, I just want to help you get over him." Gu Xing continued to sob while her fingers wiped her falling tears.
Bai Ruoxi sighed and facepalmed herself inwardly.
What could she say? She indeed never visited the Gu Mansion anymore after Gu Yin's death. It's not because she couldn't bear to step into that place, but because she just had no reason to anymore.
Unlike Bai Ruoxi's small warm family, the Gu's was full of conflicts. Gu Liquan wasn't a faithful husband and had a lot of affairs. When his ex wife, Liang Yi found out, she filed for a divorce and left, leaving the small Gu Yin behind. Bai Ruoxi's mom was well acquainted with Liang Yi and thus had taken care of Gu Yin like their own family.
If it was only that, it might have been good, but Gu Liquan was a total scum. Right after the divorce, he immediately brought back home his mistress and two children. Gu Wei was even five years older than Gu Yin. It didn't take a genius to figure out what Gu Liquan had done.
He was also unreasonable and had started to treat Gu Yin like he was an eyesore behind the Bai Family's back. That's why even when Gu Yin was still alive, he seldom went back to his own home and spent most of his time with the Bai's.
Bai Ruoxi sighed again and cast a side glance towards Gu Xing. Such a headache...
Seeing that Bai Ruoxi was rendered powerless by her tactics, Gu Xing quietly rejoiced while she continued to act pitifully."Would you... would you give us a chance to help you forget him, Sister Ruoxi?"
Ha! How laughable! Why would Bai Ruoxi give her a chance? No one should help her. Her pain and regrets were proofs of how much she had once loved Gu Yin. She would never forget him.
Yet contrasting to her evil thoughts, Bai Ruoxi gave the woman in front of her a thin smile. "Why are you talking to me? Do I know you?"
Her words struck Gu Xing and the rest of people who were watching like a thunder. She couldn't believe that this ugly looking woman would say something like that!
"Hahaha, look at her. Gu Xing cried in front of her yet that Xu girl doesn't even know her!"
"And you heard what she said? 'Can my brother and I go to your house?' Nobody in their right mind would let some strangers in! Hahaha!"
Hearing their words, Gu Xing bit her lip until the taste of iron was on her tongue. Her previous crocodile tears turned real. She then immediately ran away the opposite direction of where Bai Ruoxi was headed.
Bai Ruoxi silently thanked those bypassers for indirectly helping her get rid of Gu Xing.

"Bai Ruoxi, Bai Ruoxi, Bai Ruoxi!! I will fucking kill you!"
A loud deafening shriek was heard by everybody in the whole mansion, followed by a series of glass breaking and things being thrown onto the floor. A maid that was standing at the corner of the room started to shiver in fright, her expression was full of fear. It was as though the person before her wasn't the young miss of Gu Family, but a horrifying ghost.
"Xiao Xing! What's happening?!"
The door was burst open and a tall, charming man in a black suit walked into Gu Xing's room. His face was a mix of anger and panic. But after seeing his little sister's chaotic condition, his heart winched in pain. He immediately pulled her into his arms.
"Tell me, who did this to you."
"Bai Ruoxi, that wicked slut! She dares embarrass me like that! I'm going to fucking kill her!"
Hearing that name, Gu Wei frowned and wondered what could Bai Ruoxi have done to anger his sister. Wasn't Gu Xing supposed to get on her good side? How did it end up like this?
Gu Wei then consoled his sister while trying to get her spill the incident. His frown then deepened.
This little sister of his... how could she be so rash?
Or could it be that she thought Bai Ruoxi was dumb?
Bai Ruoxi didn't want anyone to know that she's the Bai Family's Young Miss thereby had always disguised herself with makeup. Moreover, he'd always had a feeling that Bai Ruoxi secretly hated his family. Yet Gu Xing didn't even think twice before throwing herself at Bai Ruoxi.
"We will make another plan, leave it all to me. You should sleep, Xiao Xing."
"En."
After tucking her to bed and ordered the maids to clean up the mess, Gu Wei walked into his study and opened a file regarding Bai Ruoxi and her family.
Bai Family was one of the Top 5 Prominent Families in Imperial City. Their company, Bai & Li Enterprise had been around for decades and they dealt with a bunch of things; malls, amusement parks, technologies, automobiles, real estates. If one day were the Bai Family collapsed, the country would suffer a great impact. That was just how important the Bai's are.
Xu Liluo, their current Matriarch was an eminent figure in the fashion industry and had several renowned brands. Even their chauffeur was a well known international racer.
During the time Gu Yin was alive and engaged to Bai Ruoxi, a lot of people tried to curry their favor. People congratulated them wherever they went and their business was at the peak.
But right after Gu Yin died, the Bai Family didn't even cast a glance towards them anymore. People who tried to get on their good side turned to laugh at them and their company was even suffering some great losses.
It now seemed like the whole Gu Family couldn't even compare to Bai Family's servants! How humiliating!
Gu Wei gritted his teeth and tried to rack his brain for another plan. He must find a way to marry Bai Ruoxi. Without help from the Bai's, their company will eventually go bankrupt. He couldn't let that happen. Whatever it takes, he will make Bai Ruoxi beg on her feet for him to marry her.
He would then turn the whole Bai Family into his dogs! Just imagining it was enough to get him excited!
